Petrified Forest National Park

Set partly within the Painted Desert of northeastern Arizona, Petrified Forest National Park offers glimpses of the world's largest concentration of petrified wood, fossils, and a fragile grassland ecosystem. Working with Tucson Clean Cities Coalition (TCC), the park plans to replace all gasoline-fueled vehicles within its Visitor Services fleet and install two publicly available electric vehicle charging station (EVSE) in the park. It's also working with TCC to launch an extensive education and outreach effort designed to educate park visitors, tour bus drivers, and park staff about how to eliminate unnecessary engine idling, reduce fuel consumption, and improve local air quality. The old vehicles will be replaced with one plug‐in electric vehicle and one hybrid electric vehicle. The EVSE will include a DC Fast Charger with Level 2 capabilities located at the park's north visitor center.
